Fox Searchlight just announced that 11/23 is the date for the limited theatrical release of the much anticipated biopic HITCHCOCK. Said to be a dramedy set during the period HITCHCOCK was filming his classic thriller PSYCHO, the film also delves into the relationship between the eccentric filmmaker and his wife Alma. Directed by SACHA GERVASI from the STEPHEN REBELLO book ALFRED HITCHCOCK AND THE MAKING OF PSYCHO, the cast includes ANTHONY HOPKINS, HELEN MIRREN, SCARLETT JOHANSSON, DANNY HUSTON, TONI COLLETTE, JESSICA BIEL and MICHAEL STUHLBARG.

We sat down a few days ago with IVAN REITMAN (one of the film’s producers) while he was doing press for the upcoming Blu-ray release of his political comedy DAVE and he took a moment to assure that HITCHCOCK would be a fitting tribute to the legendary movie-maker.
